#gouache #art #februaryfrost26week2

Gonna need people to support middle grade and YA titles bc where do we think adult readers come from!! If kids don’t have good books to read from like 8 - 12 they are going to stop reading 😭😭😭😭

People are harder for me, than multilayerd mystical worlds. Those are normal!

Yessss I've been asking for this forever!! I love this idea of having artists do official art like this, like how Instagram used to do 🥹

Rough digital painting of a girl up a hill, standing next to a human-built old source. A green valley extends up the horizon while clouds and a bird fly by.

lil nervous Bean in their cap and flower smock

illustration of lil Bean is panicking as they ride on the back a big wolf beast. above them, a screen shot from a rights report: Rosemary Brosnan at Quill Tree has acquired, in an exclusive submission, Bean by Bree Paulsen (Garlic & the Vampire). In this middle grade graphic novel, tiny (and agoraphobic) forest creature Bean is forced to face their greatest fears when the last remaining piece of their family is stolen, leaving them no choice but to confront the monsters they're most afraid of. Publication is planned for winter 2029; Britt Siess at Britt Siess Creative Management sold world English rights.

Thrilled to announce my 5th (omg) graphic novel!!!

This standalone fairy tale is part an excuse to draw lots of monsters, part the agrophobia I've developed in these pandemic years, and the rest—a story of comfort that doesn't shy away from the dark 🧡🧡🧡

Hi #kidlitartpostcard !! 👋 I’m Amanda, I love illustrating both picture books and board books!

Something I would love to illustrate is a book focusing on historical figures in the arts! Which is why I am sharing my new portfolio pieces on the amazing Jane Austen.
